Shuffling the pack

Loads of really interesting stuff happening at the minute, more than I have time to do justice to really, so today's posts are a bit of a digest. I'll try and point the way to the more interesting commentary out there.

Reshuffle! Always a cause of great excitement among us pointy-heads.

I have to take the fifth on the Labour ins-and-outs, but interesting goings on in Smith Square. David Cameron was always going to get a job, watch him for one of the big posts after the next election. The real surprise, for me, was that Oliver Letwin (who's been virtually anonymous in recent months) and Teresa May (never quite forgiven for her 'nasty party' comment) remained in post. The return of grandees Nicholas Soames and John Redwood is probably not the desparate act many have suggested, but an attempt to shore up core support.

About Me

Brit Pundit is in exile at one of the worlds oldest (and therefore best) universities. However, he is beginning to suspect that its reputation isn't entirely deserved. He lives in domestic bliss. When drunk, he will describe himself to anyone willing to listen as an 'outdoorsman'. His friends will agree that he has exemplary taste in music. He loves to cook, but doesn't do it often enough. He is convinced that TV, sports and hangovers are getting worse with age. He is always right, but often changes his mind.
